Onsight Insights are a series of farm walks whereby a number of Farming for Nature (FFN) Ambassadors will showcase their contribution to nature and good farming practices on their land, as well as highlight their practical on-farm actions to support biodiversity and climate.
These walks are a great opportunity to meet likeminded farmers and to gain an insight into the creative and inspiring ways that farmers are working to incorporate, protect and enhance nature on their land. There is a great diversity of Ambassadors set to host farm walks this year covering a range of farming systems from tillage to dairy, forestry to market gardening, mixed stock to high nature value farming, and lots more in between. There are farm walks scheduled for each province in Ireland.
There is a provisional farm walk schedule for June – September 2023 which you can see on the Farming for Nature website here. Bookings are now open for the walks and interested parties are advised to book early as spaces are limited. Keep an eye on Farming for Nature social media/website to see possible updates or changes to this schedule as time progresses. Lucy Bowler, Programme Officer with Farming for Nature said “We are delighted to showcase the wide range of farming systems and land types in Ireland. We feel these farm walks are a great way to exchange ideas, experiences and practical tips for farming alongside nature. The walks are also a wonderful opportunity to see first-hand from farmers what works and what doesn’t when it comes to supporting nature on farms.”
The walks cost €10 to attend. This is a not-for-profit initiative and all monies received will be circulated back into the farming community.
